Hearing on government’s motion to dismiss machine gun case set for April
Inconvenient truths about Jones’ successor at ATF warrant investigation
Without bringing the original and subsequent work to wider attention -- and the press isn't about to -- most of the public will never hear about it, meaning the corruption, cover-up and stonewalling will continue as the “authorized journalists” run interference. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the new guy is a company man just as capable of going Full BTodd as the outgoing administration lackey.

"U.S. Media AWOL"
Obama Accused of Obstructing Battle against Boko Haram to Promote Axelrod’s Nigerian Muslim Client [More]There are one of two ways we could treat this.
We could understand this is the type of investigative journalism the Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists have no interest in making known, and that it's therefore up to us to be force multipliers and share the link far and wide to help wake more people up to the domestic enemies posing as our leaders.
Or we could take the "progressive" approach: Smear the author as an Islamophobe who hates Obama because he's black...
Actually, there is a third way, one taken by far too many: We could just do nothing.
I know what I chose.
Crash and Burn
Mr. JONES AND Mr. BRANDON SERIOUSLY? This in and of itself should get you fired. A half million dollars for drones nobody can fly? Have you ever heard of a trial run? I bought a drone for $300 and got aerial video the first day. If this aint waste fraud and abuse what is? The tax payers are gonna love this. [More]Vince Cefalu notes some defective remote-controlled drones, and also some that came in a box.
It appears BATF-U's tendency to pull this crap will not stop with the director's departure. Still, the new guy deserves his own identity-- maybe somebody could come up with better lyrics:
Brandon!
B. Todd abandoned him
What do you do when you're Brandon
And you're out on a limb?
We're the Only Ones Privately Recording Enough
State legislators around the country are pushing to make it much harder for the public to obtain police officer body camera videos, undermining their promise as a tool people can use to hold law enforcement accountable. [More]Hey, gotta keep those costs down for that public we're serving and protecting the hell out of.

A Blind Eye in the Hawkeye State
Senate leadership is purposely stalling this bill, they know they have to do something, but they know if they can put us off until the 11th hour they have a lot more leverage. If they can delay SF425 until the last minute they can bring forward a watered down version of the Omnibus Gun Bill and pass it before our side can mount any resistance. We've created a petition calling on the Senate leadership to Bring SF425 to a vote - AS IS! Please sign it and share it as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Over at the Gun-Free Zone

A Guy Walks into a Coutroom...
Prosecutor engaged in egregious misconduct, warranting dismissal with prejudice of all charges, by providing defense counsel with an edited transcript of defendant’s statement to police, adding fabricated language suggesting that defendant had committed a more serious crime than that to which he actually admitted. [More]But it's OK, because the prosecutor said a few years back it was all taken the wrong way.
Jeez, can't you people take a joke?

Cry, the Betrayed Country
24-25 March 2015: GOSA, along with a number of pro-gun sporting and other bodies, will be attending the Firearms Summit in Parliament. Unfortunately it seems that we will be granted "observer" status only. The list of speakers should make it clear that they are out to get our guns (again). What does Danny Jordaan know about firearms, except that Senzo Meyiwa was murdered (hint: this is already illegal) by a yet-to-be-apprehended (see how well the law works?) criminal using a gun (again, already illegal). This is not about firearms, it's about control. [More]I'd comment further, but I've been told by the antis that I'm not qualified because I "clearly haven't been raped."
And GOSA would comment further, except they've been told by the antis in charge of the forum they won't be allowed to. Say, this monopoly of power business is all right! You can tell people what to do and when they can speak and everything...
From a GOSA press release, just in:
Firearm owners will be demonstrating outside Parliament at 13h30 today (Wednesday 25 March) in support of their representatives taking part in the Firearms Summit at Parliament.
According to Jeff Radebe “the main objective is to ensure that we reduce the ownership of arms in South Africa.”
The latest figures released by Statistics South Africa, clearly illustrate that firearms are used in only 1,7% of assault related deaths. This calculates to about 0,1734% of non-natural deaths, and roughly 0,01734% of all deaths nationally.
Of even greater interest is that of these assault related deaths, the top cause at 85,1% is ‘Sharp Object related’.
A ‘firearm control system’ initially costing R42 million, has turned into around R412 million. With possibly billions more tax payer Rands being squandered on a law that clearly has done nothing to curb crime, but which has rather disarmed law abiding citizens, one would think that the Civilian Secretariat for Police should conduct an audit of the Firearms Control Act immediately.
A Symbolic Victory

The dispute has made Van Duyne a hero on fringe websites that fear an Islamic takeover of America. [More]Why would any crazy fringers think that?

The greatest part of this sum had been anticipated and how our army could have been kept together for three months is utterly beyond my solution. [More]
